Premier League 2020/21

[dagraham]

Can you put all Brighton players in your team for next week? Thanks in advance.

I have the Brighton keeper anyway, so let’s see...... the fucker will probably save 5 penalties now.

Gary is full of shit. He really is a twat.

I don't agree with it, but it isn't an unreasonable opinion.

I remember Pickford making his league debut against us in a 4-1 loss and thinking he was utter garbage.

I’m genuinely astonished he has gone on to not only establish himself in a premier league side but also make a load of England appearances.

He’s an absolute fraud and so far from PL level it’s untrue. Garbage.

Unfortunately make a load of England appearances is an understatement

 

[spursfan77]

Good result for us, but of course as soon as I put Digne in my fantasy league team he gets sent off .

yeah I put DCL in mine this morning too. They had no chance!

 

[King of Otters]

We wouldn't

Hmmm, not sure about that, and hope we don’t have to put it to the test!

You're just being stupid now... we're not gonna get awarded a penalty.

Unfair, he hasn't been good for Everton the last few years, but was fantastic for Sunderland in 16/17, and just the whole 2017/2018 season, including the world cup he was phenomenal and won everton player of the season.

He was 21 when he made his debut against us, and at that age, making a debut, most goalkeepers look a bit garbage.

He clearly has a confidence problem, but even now you can still see he has ability, it's just his composure is shot. He shouldn't be starting for England, not even close, but he's not a fraud. Ludicrous to suggest that.

Anyone else think Newcastle are getting battered today?

My fantasy team hopes so.

 

[C0YS]

No. Wolves haven't impressed me, they've picked up one decent result all season. Their results are misleading as 6 points came from the bottom two. Newcastle have been inconsistent but I don't think they are anywhere near as bad as their fans would have you believe, even against Utd the score came from a late game collapse and didn't really reflect most of the match. I think it will be close.

Somehow it is always a good thing to play later than the rest of the teams. Fucking Leicester almost always play after every one of us and the pressure was not always on them during their title winning season.

Please, please please for fucking sake, just capitalise on these advantages we have and pull closer to the 1st spot.

You're misremembering, Leicester almost always played before us, and this wasn't favourable to us.

Playing later is harder than playing before, same with going second in a penalty shootout. Knowing what you have to do to achieve x, is always going to put a little bit more pressure on you.

I'm just glad I can't have my weekend ruined.

 

[Danfunkel]

Absolute shocker of a week so far on my FPL team. Hoping Kane and Sonny can salvage me something.

Oh, my bad on failing memories. But if favourable results all come before we play, it can be a good thing.

Agree. We never once had the chance to cut their lead down to 1 pt by playing first. It was always they took their lead to 7pts so we had to win to get it back to 4.
Massive psychological difference.
Was a joke really. So unfair.

 

[C0YS]

Well it's always a good thing, but even then I'd rather they happen after we play. It's too early in the season to really be worrying about other teams so it shouldn't make any difference, but if you know you can take advantage that still puts pressure on you. Anything that can affect your focus on the game at hand cannot be positive. This is why a lot of managers have this take a game at a time sort of mentality. Focusing on the game not on others or the table seems sensible.

Against West Ham at around 80 minutes I committed the cardinal sin of looking at the table and admiring how good it looked to see us in 2nd place with a goal difference of +10.

No wonder it all went to shit.

Spot on.The only game we played before them during the last few months of that season was the NLD.
